Virgo
Virgo, the Virgin, approximate dates are August. 23-Sep 23
Taste: There is always a slightly delicate but spicy flavor that accompanies a Virgo, some suggest it is the scent of some kind of cleansing liquid.
Grocery Store: If you go shopping with a Virgo, be prepared to read the labels. Or be prepared for Virgo to read labels. The packaging itself doesn’t matter, it’s what’s inside that counts, and this is what Virgo seeks to discover.
Wal-Mart, after midnight: Have you ever been shopping with a Virgo? Have you ever thought about the number of times someone can squint at a tag and wonder exactly what part of the animal these things come from? Imagine the scientific curiosity at stake here. However, there is another problem, and one that suggests that the results are not quite there yet, that this is an area that will require further investigation. “I’m not going to a Wal-Mart, please don’t make me go there,” I heard a Virgo girl complain. Good, cheap things didn’t quite work for him. The results are still under study, as of now. And most Virgo girls I know wouldn’t get up after midnight anyway, not if there was something else to do, like sleep.
Brick Wall: When a Virgo encounters a fixed and immovable obstacle, there is only one solution. First, this brick wall must be disassembled, one grain of mortar at a time. And every grain of sand that makes up this wall needs to be properly stored and labeled so that it can be reassembled later. Or for the one who caused this obstacle to be discovered and blamed. In any case, Virgo will make sure that all of this is done to perfection.
Bait: Crappie Spin “It’s not just for Crappie, Smallmouth loves him too!” – This is a special lure, designed just for Crappie, but guess what? Smallmouth loves it too. And that’s why it works for Virgo fish – the utilitarian nature of this lure will always appeal to that very practical but mutable Virgo. It’s a perfect fit. Also, almost all Virgos have a taste for the unusual, which is why this dual-purpose bait works so well.
Body part: Viscera.
Although Virgo can be altruistic, they tend to act like a martyr, using guilt as a weapon. Although they adapt to change, they can be vulnerable to the influence of other people. A Virgo will always find ways to be helpful. And although shy, Virgos are idealistic and communicative with the ability to sell. Always practical, they would be an effective negotiator due to their ability to instinctively respond to the needs of others. And they can handle endless details and responsibilities.
Virgo’s analytical ability is amazing. A Virgo can seem quite talkative. They also have a predilection for books, magazines, and writing. There is an omnipresent critical eye for organization and details. This may seem like an irresistible urge to improve everything and everyone. However, not all Virgos are fans of order and some can be quite careless, disorganized, and irresponsible. They have this hypocritical thing, right? Like a crazed drill sergeant, does a Virgo disguise someone on one side and the other on the other for their bad habits but then they themselves have the same bad habits? We are generally health conscious and not overly competitive. Virgo can be a craftsman, seamstress, or designer. Virgos tend to have a keen interest in cartography, travel, or philately.
I once lived in an apartment with a property manager who was a Virgo. Unsurprisingly, he had been in his new office for about 20 minutes when he called me and said, “Do you realize you still owe the other half of your pet’s deposit?” This is a good example of Virgo’s attention to detail. I had forgotten to pay the second half of the pet deposit for over a year. However, it did not pass over his Virgo eye.
Bernstein, Dvorak, and Charlie Parker were all from Virgo.
But for Virgo listening pleasure, try: Hayden’s “Symphony No. 104” or Brahm’s “Symphony No. 4”. Perhaps also some Enigma. Any good Virgo will also go crazy over Gregorian chants.
